500 Gold Chests Spawning in the Frontiers

I think this would be really fun. The reward does not necessarily need to be gold, but having chests spawn in random frontiers could shake up the montony of realm tasking. Zerging in tasks is great, but treasure chests/hunts in non-task frontiers could help populate them more. I really think we can use something like this.

I remember back in WoW there was a treasure chest in Stranglethorn Vale that spawned every hour or so. It was very popular and helped bring players into the zone. If there were 500 gold chests spawning in less populated frontiers like Yggdra Forest, Forest Sauvage, or Mount Collory, then more players would hangout in these zones.

Lots of players would hunt for these chests, and imagine the awe of a low level character or group coming across one while xping in the frontiers. There was a lot of demand for something like this during the beta, and I think its perfect for Phoenix! It would be just like the Battlegroup chest currently in game.

good idea, but 8mans would find them and just circle them for rps farm

I get that point, but the reward is split so each member of the 8 man would only receive like 60 gold. The smaller group size the bigger your reward. Would an 8man really roam for 30 minutes for a reward split 8 ways? There would be many chests spread across the frontiers. 8mans have a much easier time farming players in the task frontier currently. These chests are for wandering players in non task frontiers.

I think cocio_dk is saying that 8-man groups would use the chest as bait to farm xp'ers who are coming to loot the chest: they wouldn't take the chest themselves. Well, maybe they would after they had cleaned up dozens of greys who were going for the chest...

You walk around non task frontiers right now and all you mostly see are greys. I dont grey gank, so there is not much to fight. These chests could help change that.
